3. Points to Note Each workshop will have a fire fighting procedure There should be a workshop fire warden and fire officers Understand clearly the fire fighting policy for your workshop Fire extinguishers will be located in easily accessible places Do not block access to fire extinguishers with workshop equipment and clutter Fire extinguishers either smother or quench a fire A fire extinguisher that smothers a fire does not remove heat Keep a watch over the fire Even though the fire may seem to be out it may restart i Workshops will have various fire fighting tools fire hoses fire buckets fire blankets and fire extinguishers Each has a specific application and method of use Familiarise yourself with each of these tools Fire blankets are manufactured from fire retardant material and have multiple uses They can be used to smother a fire in a cleaning station or wrap around clothing that has caught on fire They may be used to shield people from fire when evacuating a building or be used as a stretcher to carry injured or unconscious people Never use water on a fuel based fire The fuel will float on the vvater and spread further The only exception to this is in the case of a fire fuelled by methanol Methanol is heavier than water and burns with an invisible flame Use a water extinguisher on a methanol fire Fire buckets contain sand that can be thrown over a fire to smother it Do not be too quick
